Chapter 2 Chapter 2 provides information to help you: set the module configuration switches mount the remote I/O module connect the remote I/O cable connect the termination resistor connect the SCANport link connect the power supply Read this chapter completely before you attempt to install or configure your remote I/O communications module. Double check all connections and option selections before you apply power. Important: Switch selections take effect only on power up. If you change selections after power is applied, cycle the power to use the new settings. This publication describes switches as being either on or off. If the switch assembly has the word OPEN printed on it, the word OPEN corresponds to OFF (O). When you change the adapter board configurations, keep in mind the addressing conventions of the type of processor that you are using. In all cases, each remote I/O device must have a unique address that the processor can recognize. Important: This adapter is not compatible with complementary I/O configurations because the adapter uses both output and input image words for proper drive control.! ATTENTION: When you make changes to the switch settings, use a blunt, pointed instrument such as a ball point pen. Do not use a pencil because the lead (graphite) of the pencil may damage the switch assembly. ATTENTION: Failure to check connections and switch settings for compatibility with your application when configuring the communications module, could result in personal injury and/or equipment damage due to unintended or undesirable operation of the drive or process equipment.
2 2 Set switch SW3 first. The settings on this switch determine how the SCANport device uses the data contained in the programmable controller I/O image table. SW3 also establishes the minimum rack size that this communications module requires. The switches are labeled in the same orientation as they appear on the board. Table 2.A, SW3 Image Table Map, and Figure 2.2, SW3 Flowchart, are included to help you set the DIP switches properly. It may also be helpful to color in the final switch settings in Figure 2.1 as a visual record of your SW3 settings. Chapter 3 contains several examples of how to fill in the worksheet and set these DIP switches. J1 ➀➁ ➀ ➁
2 3 ➀ ➀ How to use Table 2.A: 1. Use Figure 2.2 to set DIP switch SW3 and fill out Table 2.A. 2. Use minimum rack size shown in Table 2.A to set DIP switch SW2-1 and SW2-2.

2 7 Switch SW1 controls starting quarter and rack address options as shown in Figure 2 7. Note: When using a PLC-2 family processor, you need to offset the value of the rack number by one. The PLC-2 cannot have a remote I/O rack numbered zero. Therefore, add a value of one to the Rack No value in Table 2.B when writing your PLC code.

2 9 The remote I/O communications module can be provided in three mounting configurations: Open Style board factory installed in a drive (not available for all drives) Open Style board as a separate kit Enclosed style for panel mount or DIN rail mount This section provides mounting information for the Enclosed style and the Open style kit.

2 12 You must connect remote I/O communications module cables as shown in the example in Figure 2.11. Refer to Table 2.C for cable guidelines. 1 2..
2 13 Twinaxial cable used for remote I/O (RIO) and Data Highway+ (DH+ TM ) communications represents a communications transmission line in which certain characteristics exist. The following are some general guidelines that must be adhered to in order to obtain the best results. Cable Type Only 1770-CD Belden #9463 is approved for RIO and DH+ installations. All other cable types or manufacturers, no matter how similar, are untested. Using other cable types is strictly at your own risk. Important: The transmission rate determines the maximum cable length. Connections Connect all three conductors, blue, clear, and shield, at each wiring point. No additional ground connections should be made to the shield. Important: DO NOT use star type connections. Only two cables may be connected at any wiring point on a series connection application. These are general rules and certain deviations may be warranted because diverse installation and environmental concerns could change the requirements.
2 14 You must terminate both ends of a remote I/O link to ensure proper operation. This termination is required only at the ends of the physical cable. Each remote I/O network should have exactly two termination resistors installed. Use Table 2.D and Figure 2.12 and Figure 2.13 to determine the proper termination for your particular link. Termination resistor R3 is located on the board, and the J2 jumper selects this resistor. Important: The following products (Table 2.E) cannot be on a link using 82-Ohm termination resistors.

2 16 SCANport cables are available in either Male to Male or Male to Female configuration. You can connect cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) from the master to the SCANport device (A in Figure 2.14). If you use a port expander as shown in Figure 2.14, subtract the cable length from the master to the port expander from the cable length used to connect the device to the expander (B1+ C = maximum 10 meters). An Allen-Bradley SCANport link cable is used to make the connection between the communications module and the drive (Figure 2.14). 2 3 4 5 Important: The maximum cable distance between any two master devices cannot exceed 10 meters (33 feet) of cable. For example, B1 + C = maximum of 10 meters or B1 + B2 = maximum of 10 meters. Refer to the product manual for connection information. On larger horsepower 1336 PLUS and 1336 FORCE drives with an open remote I/O module mounted in the drive, you do not need a separate SCANport cable connection.
2 17 An Allen-Bradley SCANport cable is used to connect the communications adapter and an SMP 3. See the cable requirements on page 2 16 for details on cable length. An Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1202 SCANport cable is required to connect the communications adapter and the SMC Dialog Plus controller.
2 18 The Enclosed remote I/O is powered from a separate 24V dc or 115V ac power supply (Figure 2.17). With the open style remote I/O board mounted in the drive, no separate power supply connections are required.
